Component technology has additional roles and activities in the
software life-cycle that relate to assembly and deployment of
components into a running system. These new activities affect
all dimensions of software engineering. Deployment needs to be
specified, designed, implemented, verified and tested. It requires
new software processes, languages and tools, standards and inter-
operability. During deployment attention must be paid to quality
requirements, customisation, maintainability, system evolution,
and constraints concerning scarce resources.
Although many of these issues are being addressed in isolation,
there is no well founded notion of software deployment that com-
bines and interrelates the underlying principles. CD 2002 brings
together experts from such disparate fields, and seeks to establish
component deployment as a major research area within component-based
software engineering.
